Our Children all Need Great Teachers Like You
You once had a choice
And you chose to teach
And every day
It's our children you reach
You make the difference
In the life of each child
Those that are quiet
And those that are wild
It's the way that you teach
You do it so well
They look up to you
And think you are swell
You teach from your heart
That's plain to see
They think you're divine
And we all agree
Please never forget
And remember it's true
Our children all need
Great teachers like you
We appreciate you
And we value your time
And if you should forget
Please re-read this rhyme

Thank You for Teaching Me How to Believe
Forever I'll keep your memory
Stored within my heart
Forever I'll remember
Just how you played a part
You played a part by teaching me
To think bigger and think higher
I never will forget you
As for greatness I'll aspire
You played a part by telling me
My dreams will all come true
For teaching me how to believe
Teacher I'm thanking you

Teacher, You’re Still My Inspiration
You've been my inspiration
From the time when I was young
And many times throughout the years

Have flourished and have grown
You're still my inspiration
So I'm sending this to you
With all my love and gratitude
For teaching as you do

Thank You for Saying No to Bullying
He once was a bully
He loved to fight
You taught him that
It was not right
You shamed him in
The nicest way
And showed him how
He'd have to pay
You said that karma
Won't be nice
If he continued
With this vice
You gave him a
Piece of your mind
You taught him ways
He could be kind
You even cut
Him down to size
You helped him to
Apologize
You taught him words
That he could use
And to avoid
Words of abuse
You showed him ways
He could express
So he'd avoid
An awful mess
You showed him that
When life got tough
He could avoid
Such nasty stuff
You said he was
A kinder soul
And should respect
The greater whole
You helped him see
A better way
Thanks and thanks
Is what I say
***~~~***
Thank You for Giving Me the Wish to Learn
The wish to learn is priceless
It's a gift you gave to me
For you do more than teaching
This much is plain to see
For giving me the wish to learn
Today I'm thanking you
I'm grateful for your efforts
And for all the things you do
***~~~***
Thanks for Showing Me the Light
Thank you teacher
You’re so kind
You gave me joy
And peace of mind
You helped me dream
You gave me hope
You taught me so
I would not mope
You gave me strength
So I can see
A future that
Belongs to me
A future that
Looks really bright
Thanks for showing
Me the Light

There Once was a Teacher
There once was a teacher
Who thought I was bright
And now I can see
That the teacher was right
That teacher is you
You believed in me
You opened my eyes
And helped me to see
To see my potential
To see that my mind
Is open to learning
Where once I was blind
Thank you for seeing
What I could not see
Thank you my teacher
For believing in me
***~~~***
I’m Grateful I was Taught by You
There once was a teacher
That teacher was you
Who always knew
Just what to do
Just what to do
And what to say
And how to make
A student's day
For all your help
For all you teach
For every student
That you reach
For all you are
And all you do
With gratitude
I say thank you
There once was a teacher
That teacher was you
I'm grateful I
Was taught by you
